This data collection provides information on
characteristics of housing units in eight selected Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (MSAs) of the United States. Data for each household
member include age, sex, race, marital status, income, and
relationship to the householder. For the householder, data also
include tenure, length of residence, years of school completed, and
Spanish origin. Variables pertaining to general housing
characteristics cover number of rooms, type of heating and
air-conditioning equipment, and whether the housing units had complete
kitchens and plumbing facilities. Information on costs incurred for
mortgage payments, rent, real estate taxes, property insurance,
utilities, parking, and garbage collection permits comparisons of
housing costs from one year to another between geographic
areas. Limited data are provided on costs of additions, alterations,
replacements, and repairs made to the property.
